Great pics and great videos Derek, thanks for posting them up. Sounds like you need a wind sock or remote mic for the high wind conditions though. High wind audio is the worst part about gopros imo.

Also, thanks to everyone for showing up. I know I had a good time and was happy that you all decided to wait 2 extra weeks. Too bad the weather was cold, but at least no rain.

Here's a link to sign up for CDC event next weekend for those interested : Capital Driving Club: Event Reservation System

And here is a link for general information click on the FAQs on the right. It is a little outdated but still mostly good stuff : Capital Driving Club

I had no idea it would be that bad with the noise. That is the same gopro I used on one of my rc planes and it was not anywhere near that bad for some reason.

Rocky -Thanks once again for setting everything in motion. Love the ORANGE, seriously ! 'Stinky citrus' is the name on the color chart, I do believe. At least that's the name from the folks that follow you too closely. And thanks everyone for the good time, this old man enjoyed the day and your company. Freak, HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY Derek ! ! I had a pair of socks on yesterday that are older than you are ! Derek - remind Mr. Watson to go to mautofied.com to see his next daily-driver MR2, hit 'browse', then Virginia - it's an '86 time capsule. Levi - thanks for the sniff of a roast that has made me want to throw up every coffee I ever consumed and START OVER ! ! And parking lot brisket was good as well.

Yeah, as always, thanks Rocky! Great to see and meet some new folks mixed in with the pillars of the cruise.

Thank you also for the videos and pictures. Those are some great reminders from Mike that there's more to pictures than iPhone pictures.

I haven't been up on the skyline as of late. But the local paper said they are just starting to turn. So if you plan it in a few weeks should be good. Food wise, Two Fat Butchers are doing brisket on the weekends. Need to try out the local brew pub to see if it's any good.
